I'M 120% SURE SHE'LL SAY SHE LOVES ME

This is so beautiful.

It is beautiful.

-It's crazy beautiful.
-Crazy, right?

They left the village for a bit?

Careful. Sit here.



-They're holding hands.
-He hasn't yet confessed his love, right?

Right.

You don't usually hold hands
before the confession.

-A beautiful sunset.
-So, you're a romantic?

He can't hold it in.

Yukiemon's quite receptive.

That's true.

-Are you cold?
-I'm fine.

He's so handsy.

You know, it's been a big dream of mine…

He's so handsy before the confession.

…to be an actor
and rise to the top in the US.

So when I do that,

I want a woman who's a good talker,
who's cheerful, and who has confidence.

You're the perfect fit for some reason.

-You're talking about me? Moi?
-You are a perfect fit.

And after getting to know you
at Love Village,

I wanted to talk to you outside there.

And I want to meet your acquaintances,
friends, family, and such.

And after being with everyone,

I wanna try having
my own family and friends.

It's going well.

That's what I want.

And thank you
for the barbecue party and other stuff.

I don't know who wrote,
"Thank you for being born."

But it made me as happy
as if my own mother had said it.

Really? I'm so glad.

"Thank you for being born."
You don't hear that often.

He's pressing it to his head.

Yeah, it's like,
"I'm thankful you were born."

Now I know that moving forward,
I can create something more,

like friendship or a family.

-You showed me that.
-Right.

Just say it already.

So I'd really, seriously,

like you to think about it tonight.

Then tomorrow at the front gate,

maybe I'll get your answer
and Ieave with you.

I'll be waiting
with the hope you'll let me know

the answer you have for me.

-Is this a business meeting?
-What a roundabout confession.

This is so Hollywood. So cute.

-Yeah, that's Hollywood for you.
-It is.

He's so handsy!

Of course, it's all in your hands now.

Only if she says okay.
Then it's fine to get so handsy.

-He won't stop. He can't.
-He can't stop.

How's it going in terms of her expression?

-She looks cheerful.
-Yeah, she looks happy.

Of course, I'll be a man, and in the end…

Now both hands.

Go for it. A straight pitch!

I like you, Yukiemon.

There it is!

-This is embarrassing.
-Right?

-It's surprisingly embarrassing.
-It is.

I like you, so please leave with me.

-Shall we go?
-Shall we?

-The answer is still a mystery?
-Right.

She'll think about it?

-No impulsive answer. It's so grown-up.
-Yeah.

Careful you don't fall.

She'll think carefully.

They return to the village
after Hollywood expresses his love.

He keeps touching her.

The answer comes tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning?

If she agrees, they leave together.
And if she doesn't, he leaves alone.

I wonder how everyone's gonna react.

-Well, you know…
-Let's act normal.

They can go see everyone.

-Are they back?
-They are.

Yeah, they're back.

We're back!

Welcome back!

Apologies for taking so long
and not making the dumplings.

-Sorry about that.
-No problem.

Wow, that smells amazing!

That looks so good.

-Nice. Looks good.
-Looks tasty.

Thanks for letting us hear
that bell's wonderful sound.

You guys were able to enjoy
the sound of the bell?

-Yes, we heard it.
-Okay…

Now then, let's eat!

Let's eat.

He can't say much, can he?

That's right.

This is my last meal with everyone,
so I'd like to savor it.

Right, this is his final meal.

That's right.

Hollywood will definitely be leaving.

They've become so quiet, huh?

They have!

They must be sad.

They don't know what to say.
They don't wanna say too much.

-You could hear a pin drop.
-That was tasty.

It is good.

They're being careful.

Is this the vibe after the bell's rung?

Really, I want it to stop.

-After the bell…
-I really want this to stop.

-It's suffocating.
-Yeah, but…

Everyone has a million questions
they can't ask.

That's true.

Like, how much can we ask?

And that's why we went silent.

What can they say?

THAT NIGHT

It didn't feel like the usual Hollywood.

-Maybe he was nervous.
-Yeah.

Girl talk.

Her true feelings.

He seemed really shy,

and it really tugged at my heart.

-Wow.
-Oh my.

In that case,
be honest with your feelings.

Having no regrets
is what's most important.

Give him the answer that is right for you.

I will.

It's finally happening.

Johnny, Anchovy, Tabo,
I'm really thankful.

Your future happiness

is something I'm rooting for,
or should I say praying for.

-That made my day.
-I'm really…

You guys showed me
so many sides of yourselves.

Thank you so much.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-This is nice.
-Yeah.

We take moments like this for granted.

-I hope you get a good response.
-Yeah.

Let's all go take a bath.

-The four of them?
-All four!

You can cry all you want in the bath.

He confessed his love to her.

When I say he has his Hollywood-ness
dialed up to eleven

in all its circuitous glory…

That's Hollywood.

…it's a compliment.

But a straight pitch
at the end is also very Hollywood.

-Yeah.
-I'm glad he could say he liked her.

Since he has 52 years of experience,

you would think
he could speak effortlessly.

But when you're with someone you like,

your vocabulary shrinks.

Yeah.

What did you think while watching
Yukiemon's facial expression?

-She was pretty receptive.
-Right?

She was nodding a lot and smiling.

It was a good vibe.

She said it tugged at her heart
during their girl talk.

Right.

So I think it'll be fine
as long as nothing crazy happens.

But my manager,
hair stylist, and makeup artist

are all women, and they say

Hollywood will definitely be rejected.

What?!

-All three of them.
-Women are a tough crowd.

I think it'll be fine though.

The morning of Hollywood's
dénouement dawned.

-Which will it be?
-Another nice day.

Johnny, I was thinking,

and I couldn't find a reason
she'd reject me while I was showering.

-There aren't any.
-None, right?

IF YOU STOP CONTROLLING OTHERS,
YOU'LL FIND HAPPINESS

I think the likelihood of her saying yes

is honestly about 120%.

-What kind of book is that?
-A true psychologist.

Well, what do you think?

Me? I definitely think it's 120 today.

So Yukiemon should really be confessing
to me because of that extra 20%.

-Yeah, I see.
-Right?

Put the book down.

She should confess to me.
That's what I thought in the shower.

-Nice body!
-He's buff.

Everyone's thinking that.

-Maintaining that at 52 is amazing.
-It is.

-Yeah. Right.
-It'll be okay.

He's so cool.

I bet he's talking that much
because he's nervous.

No, don't start reading now.

It's time. He's so cool.

He really is.

I hope it goes well.

Good luck!

Oh right. It's in front of everyone.

Whoa, she's here.

If she accepts his confession of love,
they kiss and leave the village.

If she says no, he leaves alone.

I'm embarrassed again.

Good luck.

Yesterday,

I told you how I feel about you.

Now finally,

I'll convey my feelings to you.

GULP

-"Gulp."
-"Gulp."

When we opened
the door to Love Village over there,

the moment it opened,
you were smiling from ear to ear

and waving your hands like crazy.

I thought to myself,
"I could see myself loving her."

Since that moment,

I've wanted to fall in love with you.

You're always so considerate
and funny too.

I also like how you crack jokes, you know?

Most of all, you're cheerful.

So I've been thinking

it'd be nice to have
a really cheerful wife when I come home.

And you sparkle and shine
and always energize those around you.

I realized how lucky I was
to meet a woman like that.

So, this is what
I truly want moving forward.

I was wondering if we could add color
to the latter half of my life together

and make it bright.

And… I like you.

A sudden "I like you."

Thank you.

This is the last confession
I can make to you.

Yeah. So please let me know your answer.

-It was better than yesterday's.
-It was direct.

Hollywood is full of emotion.

Wow.

Nice.

How will Yukiemon respond?

My heart's racing.

I'm really happy
you chose me as your heroine

and told me how you feel. Thank you.

Since coming to the village…

you've always been so direct

even with things you like,

even when working
in the fields, everything.

You always give 100%.

Seeing you like that
filled me with respect. It really did.

Okay.

GULP

"Gulp."

We fought and stuff,

but you also supported me
when we teamed up in golf.

You also made me laugh.

You made me realize so many things.

Right.

And yesterday, I heard your confession.

I felt really lonely when I thought

about how you wouldn't be around anymore.

-Oh?
-Oh my.

I thought about what
that lonely feeling was.

I thought really hard all day yesterday.

Yeah.

Is it love?

GULP

-He keeps gulping.
-It's so cute.

Hollywood, you're like a buddy…

-Wait.
-What?

…and to me, a very important friend.

You're kidding?

So…

Huh? What?

…I can't leave with you. I'm sorry.

-What?!
-What?!

-Huh? His confidence plunged.
-But he said 120%.

However,

yesterday…

Yeah?

…you rang the confession bell for me.

I'll never forget that.

Right.

Yeah. Thank you for being born.

Whoa!

Those are awesome words.

Thanks for letting me
get to know you in Love Village.

Thank you.

Hollywood!

Can we end with a hug?

I wish you nothing but happiness.

Get along with everyone,
and make lots of good memories.

Find happiness.

I want every one
of the housemates here to find happiness.

Wow, everyone's crying.

Really, please be happy,

and find a nice boyfriend or husband.

Live well with your children. Have fun.

All right. See you.

-Thanks.
-Sure.

He leaves alone.

That's right.

TIME TO BID FAREWELL

-That was cool.
-Well, thank you.

I retract the 120% comment.

-Yeah, he has to take that back.
-That's true.

Yukiemon agonized over her decision
till the end.

-Okay. Thanks.
-I just wanted to tell you that.

-Thanks!
-Sure.

Minane, find love, okay?

-I'll try my best.
-Okay.

Hollywood.

What should I do with these? How's this?

Looks good on you.

Well, I guess that's life for you.

But I won't give up.

I want you all to continue

your wonderful lives here and get along.

Johnny will watch over things.

And all you ladies, find happiness, okay?

Minane, Totchan, Okayo, and Yukiemon.

And Anchovy and Tabo, find someone nice.

Thanks.

-Well, I'm off.
-Yeah.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-I'm grateful.
-Thanks!

You were an amazing man.

Well, I'm closing this gate.

But I pray that everyone here

will exit it as a couple.

Well, goodbye.

-Farewell.
-Thanks.

-Thank you.
-See you.

I feel lonely. I really do.

I confessed my love but sank like a rock.

I'll always remember this fondly.

I won't let this go to waste.
I'll keep trying my best.

And just like that,
Hollywood's time at Love Village was over.

It's pouring, huh? It really is.

Wow.

Jeez.

Hold on, sorry. Can I get a tissue?

Hold on.
Sorry, but you're crying every week.

Every episode.

Have my tear glands gone weak on me?

You okay? Are you tired?

No, I'm not tired,
but I think I like Hollywood.

So it seems.

I didn't know you cried so much.

No, I'm normally not like this.

Right?

The tears come out
when I put myself in Hollywood's shoes.

They do?

-Also, the housemates were crying, right?
-Right.

Everyone was.

So a lot of stuff happened,

but when I realized everyone
thought of Hollywood as a friend,

my tears wouldn't stop.

It's like they're young again.

-I got jealous of those eight.
-Wow.

And you glanced over at me, thinking,

"This guy's crying again."

You did that, right?

You're like, "He's crying."

WATCHING THE FOOTAGE

I was like, "I hear sniffling."

THIS GUY'S CRYING AGAIN

But you have seasonal allergies.

I thought they were acting up,
but then I saw your eyes were glistening.

Shall we continue?

Hollywood's gone? That's so sad.

-We'll never see Hollywood again.
-We won't.

He'll have to work hard
on his acting career.

Yeah. My heart's gonna race
if I see him in a film or something.

You'd cheer him on?

-Yeah.
-Of course we would.

The housemates have
said farewell to Hollywood.

-See? She's really crying.
-Yeah, must be tough.

Minane has begun making tea.

We're missing one again?
There's one over there.

-No, there are seven people now.
-Oh right.

That's right.

That's so sweet.

-It just hit me that he's really gone.
-Right?

Hollywood…

She's wonderful.

…is the complete opposite of me
in terms of personality.

He wears his heart on his sleeve.

I definitely wanna give him
some good news about my time here.

Hollywood's passionate confession
struck a chord with each housemate.

They'd want to do their best after that.

-Yeah.
-Right?

TOTCHAN'S DIARY

"His behavior definitely moved
our hearts."

I see. Right.

"I realized I need to face romance
head-on and move forward."

That's right.

OKAYO'S DIARY

"It made me realize once again
why I'm at Love Village."

"Will the day come
when I can ring that bell?"

I see.

The memory of Hollywood yet lingered…

Now he's gone.

…when the sage psychologist,
Johnny, began to speak.

Is everything okay?

The thing is,
due to the situation with my work,

I have no choice but to go back.

So I'll be leaving here today.

-What?!
-What?!

-No way!
-What a plot twist.

Johnny unexpectedly announces
he is leaving.

What?!

Johnny runs a hospital and clinic

and has been working
on his computer late each night.

But a situation outside his control
has required him to return home,

and he must now leave the village.

I see. These things do happen.

I really was excited
to participate in this.

And I never had an experience
as wonderful as I did with all of you.

I've lived all over the world,

but this experience
is one I'll never forget.

Thank you so much for this experience.

As for the romance situation,

I did want to have deeper conversations,

but things didn't get to that point.

I don't want to leave either,
but really, thank you so much, everyone.

Thank you for everything.

-Thank you.
-Thanks so much.

Two people are leaving all at once?

This will really change the vibe.

No way.

It's a double loss.

Yeah.

This is tough.

Two larger-than-life characters.

I'm devastated.

"Devastated."

It's so sudden.

I feel like
my blood pressure is shooting up.

-Is she okay?
-Is she?

It's quite…

That's not something you usually hear
in a romance reality show.

TIME TO BID FAREWELL

Hearts racing, not blood pressure rising.

It's really sad to think
today's our last day with you.

-Let's meet again in our next life.
-Next life?!

You can meet again
in this life, can't you?

I dream of coming to your weddings
after everyone here becomes a couple.

That's wonderful.

Thank you so much
for spending time with me.

-The pleasure is ours.
-Thank you.

-Good luck with your work.
-I'll do my best.

Good luck.

Thank you.

-Stay well.
-Thank you.

Have a safe trip.

But he was so much fun.

-Thanks!
-Thank you.

And with that, Johnny's time
at Love Village had come to an end.

With Hollywood and Johnny gone,
there are now six housemates left.

Therapist Totchan is
interested in businessman Tabo.

And Italian chef Anchovy…

MISUNDERSTANDING

…somehow thinks that Totchan
and Yukiemon like him.

Must be nice being so positive.

With Yukiemon still there,
it will only spur him on.

Yeah.

Anchovy, the misunderstanding monster,
invites Yukiemon for a chat.

What?!

You didn't cry much, huh?

If it were me,
I'd probably cry like a baby.

-I cried a lot.
-You did?

He was pretty much always by my side.
He'd be like, "Yukiemon, come over here."

When someone like that is suddenly gone,
it feels like a gaping hole inside of you.

That happens.

I wanted to say yes if I could,

but after thinking about
everything altogether,

that was my conclusion.

I think she was probably considering
whether to choose Hollywood or me.

Since she stayed behind,
that means she chose me.

-What?!
-There it is.

I feel terrible

that Hollywood was rejected.

Really?!

As he was talking to Yukiemon,
someone else appeared.

What?!

Can we talk, Anchovy?

What?

-This is crazy, right?
-It's a love triangle… in his head.

Totchan called Anchovy over.

-A love triangle only in his mind.
-But now he'll feel sure about it.

She really wanted to talk to Tabo
but decided to talk to Anchovy instead.

What did you think during the confession
between Yukiemon and Hollywood today?

When it was right in front of me,

I felt like, "That's right.
We're here to fall in love."

Right.

They broke the ice for us, so to speak.

So now I need to be more proactive.

Really?

Huh?

If the person I like
doesn't confess to me, I'll do it.

Wow, I see.

-That's what I think.
-Really?

Only if they don't.

Since you never make the first move.

This'll get Anchovy's engine revving.

That's why we're here.

Won't hearing stuff like this
make him go ring the bell?

This is bad. He's like,
"So, it's me? I gotta go ring it, then."

Well…

Totchan came to me, too,
to show how determined she was.

This is bad.

That's why I'm a bit troubled.

No, you're troubling us.

Till now, she'd say,
"I won't make a move."

"I'll never make a move."

But I think she likes Tabo.

"I'll wait until they confess to me."

But today was the first time she said,

"If they don't confess to me,
I'll do it myself."

-I see.
-Yeah.

It'd be tough for me to refuse if it's
the first time she put herself out there.

What weird music.

If that traumatizes Totchan,

I don't think
she'll be able to find her next love.

She has a kid too.

-Wait a sec.
-Hey, don't fade out!

Oh no!

The monster is here!

The troublesome side of Anchovy is
really coming into sharp relief.

But it's so much fun. You need
a guy like that in a show like this.

THE NEXT DAY

The new male housemates
are arriving today.

This will get things moving.

-You've got a lot of makeup on today.
-You're imagining things!

-You noticed?
-He noticed.

What kind of guy
are you ladies looking for?

Well, you know…

You know, hot guys.

Hot guys?

-What age roughly?
-Age really doesn't…

-Doesn't matter?
-Not really.

It doesn't. Any age is fine.

That's when…

-What?!
-They're here.

-There are two of them.
-They're young!

You're leaning out way too much.

-Their silhouettes look young.
-They're dressed casually.

-It looks like it belongs in a temple.
-Yeah, it's amazing.

-Whoa, they're here!
-They're here!

They're here!

-Welcome to Love Village.
-Hello.

Wow, they are young.

My name is Junpei. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I work in interior design.

I run a company, and I'm also a craftsman.

-What nice eyebrows.
-I wanna know about his hair.

Forty-two-year-old Junpei
from Shizuoka Prefecture

runs an interior design firm.

-He looks young.
-A business owner.

I'm Sakechan. Nice to meet you.

-Sakechan?
-Sakechan, yes.

My job is,

well, I kinda work for a company.

"Kinda work for a company"?

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Forty-six-year-old Sakechan
from Chiba Prefecture

is a hard-working executive at an IT firm.

He's young.

Do you have any special skills?

No, I don't.

Nice. He's so genuine.

Your voice!

-It's a whisper.
-Nice.

Any special skills?

-I've danced for a long time.
-Whoa, teach us.

It's breakdancing.

Here?

-Whoa!
-What?!

-On the dirt floor?
-Whoa, amazing!

Whoa! Amazing!

That's so cool!

Seriously, that was really cool.

I snowboard all winter.

Whoa, that's impressive.

One quiet, one active.

-Any hobbies?
-No hobbies.

Nice. I like his awkward vibe.

The housemates, now a group of eight,
are pumped up.

-Little do they know…
-This is great.

-What?!
-What?!

I don't get it.

Huh?

You're still in that mode?

Who's the woman with the red umbrella?

-Huh?
-What?

A woman is coming this way.

What?! Nine people?

Wait, we're still…

We're still here though.

-Seriously? No one told us.
-They didn't tell us, right?

Plus, she's gorgeous.

Crazy beautiful.

This is gonna be trouble.

-Seriously.
-How is this happening?

She's so cute! She'll steal all the guys!

-Oh wow.
-No way!

They lobbed a grenade into the mix.

I'm your new housemate, Yukorin.

-Yukorin!
-Nice to meet you.

Her voice is so cute!

An unexpected beautiful woman
joins the fray.

With the addition of three new housemates,
love may bloom in Love Village

in one fell swoop.

-Wait a minute. Wow!
-What an incredible development.

It's like Johnny is long gone.

We can't even talk about Johnny
with all this happening.

-This will be interesting.
-Right?

This'll put things in overdrive.
Yukorin's totally dazzling, right?

Wasn't it Yukiemon who said,
"She'll steal all the guys"?

-Right.
-Yukiemon barely managed to speak.

But the other three were speechless.

Yeah. They were like, "Oh crap!"
